I happen to be acquainted with this situation and think as do many others who know the background that allowing unscrupulous business methods practiced on unsuspecting, trusting home buyers to go unnoticed by the higher-ups is a disgrace. The Pasco Better Business Bureau should promote a project to clean up this situation.
